For the sixth time, Arizona State Credit Union has been awarded the Peter Barron Stark (PBS) Companies’ Award for Workplace Excellence.

“It is with pride that we award Arizona State Credit Union with the 2014 Peter Barron Stark Companies’ Award for Workplace Excellence. Arizona State Credit Union’s commitment to providing caring service shines through their associate opinion survey data,” said Peter Barron Stark, president of Peter Barron Stark Companies. “Their results illustrate a personal responsibility among each associate for contributing to the Credit Union’s success. Arizona State Credit Union has put their values into action through their commitment to associates and members by fostering a great internal culture.”

The award speaks to the Credit Union’s commitment to maintaining associate satisfaction in the workplace. A key component of the Credit Union’s business model is its commitment to serving the needs of Arizona communities, including loyal members and dedicated associates.

“As a local financial cooperative, we believe that the happiness of our associates is vital to our success as an organization,” said David E. Doss, President/CEO of Arizona State Credit Union. “Our associates constantly strive to provide the best possible experience to each and every member, and it is their extreme dedication to member service that helps us continue to grow every year.”

The Credit Union constantly strives to increase associate satisfaction by having a competitive benefits package and providing ongoing wellness initiatives. The most recent survey results indicate that associates recognize such efforts and feel that their job responsibilities directly contribute to the success of the Credit Union.

The award follows the Credit Union’s recognition earlier this year from Ranking Arizona: The Best of Arizona Business, where the Credit Union was recognized as the number one credit union in Arizona for the eighth consecutive year.
